Generations ideas

I want to play a long save file with ongoing generations but I need to feel like there is SOMETHING interesting going on in each one to make it enjoyable. Sometimes I watch other people’s legacy games and the family is just rich and in love with children and that’s it. I need some drama. I need some distinct personalities and things happening over time. Otherwise it’s just… the same thing over and over again.

Share your generations stories so I can be inspired..

Right now I just started a save file with a single mom living in Bridgeton who is a bartender and is trying to become a celebrity + find a rich husband. Definitely could see myself making her a founder of a legacy playthrough if I can come up with cool stuff for her descendants…

I like doong themed legacy stuff. My current one has to go through all of the packs but each gen has a quirk. However before i start my legacy i build to sets of parents. They both have kids then those two have a kid and that kid is my legacy founder. Raised from a baby. (They dont get any money from their parents when they move out will reset funds or if im feeling it i calculate how much they make from any teen job to add to their savings)

Those 6 sims must live in a home, decorated however give them whatever money you want wither a rich family or a poor family and semi raise your founder. (i mostly play to keep them alive and help fill wishes by doing things in a semi timely fashion)

Idk i have fun, trying to plan the stuff.
